Provide "acknowledged body of knowledge" related to the concept. Emphasize the most significant aspects of the concept in an organized, organic manner. Present information sequentially so students see continuity. Draw attention to important, discrete details; don't swamp students with myriad facts.

Objective: Students define and provide examples of positive and negative connotations in language and/or images.

Activity: Through a class discussion based on the analogs created, definitions of positive and negative connotations are developed and examples offered.

Assessment: Extent of discussion and detail in definitions.
